Excellent article in the CU Journal by Michael Bartlett about the importance of Board Transition. This leadership transition is at the core of Mitchell Stankovic and Associates business. Susan Mitchell offered her perspective and thoughts on this crucial time in Credit Unions.

Excerpt:"Boards need to have recruiting and nominating processes that go beyond a circle of friends or colleagues to the membership itself," Mitchell advised. "Next, there needs to be a better onboarding process for vetting volunteers. The credit union needs to know about the candidates' innovation, and their potential contributions." Mitchell emphasized that it's extremely important that the recruiting/vetting process hold people accountable, which, she pointed out, can be very difficult when the people are volunteers and, often, friends.
